Can you eat sandwich meat on the carnivore diet?

Yes — but with caution. Processed sandwich meats like deli ham or turkey often contain additives, sugars, and fillers that don’t align with a strict carnivore approach. For a clean carnivore sandwich recipe, stick with real cuts of meat: thin-sliced ribeye, grilled chicken, ground beef, or lamb belly. Always check labels if you're using pre-cooked or packaged meats.

What is the best carnivore breakfast?

The best carnivore breakfast is simple and rich in fat and protein. Think seared steak with eggs, beef liver with marrow, or a handheld carnivore sandwich made with egg wraps and crisp lamb. Many start their day with a high-protein, zero-carb meal like the one in my carnivore breakfast pizza , which also uses meat as the crust.

What is a traditional cannibal sandwich recipe?

The term “cannibal sandwich” typically refers to a raw meat dish — ground beef served on rye bread with onions, a regional specialty in parts of the Midwest. That’s not the same as a carnivore sandwich recipe , which involves fully cooked, nutrient-dense meat without grains or raw elements. Always cook your meat for safety and flavor.

Is hamburger on the carnivore diet?

Absolutely. Ground beef — or hamburger meat — is a staple in the carnivore diet. It’s versatile, affordable, and perfect for making a satisfying carnivore sandwich . Just form patties or use cooked crumbles between two meat-based layers like steak, cheese crisps, or egg crepes. For more ideas, visit my carnivore ground beef recipes page.
